Belmont: Site of former railway station
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 1 Dec 2010
This is taken from the same location on Kenton Lane as Ben's Image although with the closure of the railway the bridge must have been lowered. Just about the only common feature is the line of houses just visible through the trees to the left. Although the London & North Western Railway opened their line to Stanmore through here in 1890, Belmont's station was not built until 1932. In fact it only lasted for twenty years and three days before being closed to passenger traffic in 1952. The line lingered on with occasional freight trains to Stanmore but closed completely in 1964.
